You Are a Badass at Making Mone - Jen Sincero

someone else with theirs. They have to remind us of this because it’s
counterintuitive—unless you are a sociopath, it’s your nature to help. Few
things light up the human heart like helping/bringing joy to others. Trust in
the fact that when you’re well taken care of financially, you’ll be even more
poised, and inspired, to spread the love.
Our world, now more than ever, needs as many compassionate, creative,
bighearted, conscious people to be as rich as possible so we can turn this
mother around. I mean, imagine if you and all the people you love and respect
had assloads of money? And if they felt grateful and empowered by it, not
icky and guilty? And if they could afford to spend it on themselves and others
and on saving our planet in ways that uplifted everyone involved? Please take
a moment to really envision the specifics of this as it pertains to yourself and
the spectacular people in your life. Take them all one by one and imagine how
they’d feel, who they’d become, what they’d spend their newfound wealth on.
If yer peeps are anything like mine, it makes the whole concept of being rich
something worth writing a love song about.
There is no such thing as too much awesome.
I’ma go ahead and say it out loud (join me, won’t you?): I love money.
There’s no need for explanations or apologies. I also love pizza and I can say

happy, and I’ll take the rich version over the broke version all day long.
Because money gives you freedom and options and I really love freedom and
options. Who doesn’t?
While we’re at it, let’s go ahead and decriminalize rich people, shall we?
Contrary to popular belief, the rich are just people, they’re not intrinsically
filthy, nor do they deserve to be killed, eaten, or robbed. We live in a society
that’s made a sport out of judging people with lots of money, so regardless of
how you feel in your conscious mind about the rich, i.e., Some of my best
friends are rich! it’s important to be aware of any negative beliefs you may be
harboring deep down. Of course, there are some rich people who totally suck,
but some of them are awesome, just as some poor people totally suck and
some of them are awesome. The problem is that it’s socially acceptable to roll
our eyes when someone drives by in a Bentley or talks about how very many
dollars they made this year, meanwhile it’s part of normal conversation to
complain about how broke you are or to announce that you got your boots for
